Guest Reviews

I stayed with my son for one night on our way to drop him off at college in Chicago. Our room in the barn was spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable with great bedding and amenities. And, we loved staying in and exploring the Ohio City neighborhood. The J. Palen House was SO MUCH nicer than the five-star hotel we stayed in last year downtown. We'll be back!

Everything was lovely and it truly felt like a retreat. The bed was so comfortable and we had our own...See More
